Andy and Aaron look at over-the-counter pain management drugs, also known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), which include Ibuprofen, Aspirin, etc. They examine the negative side effects of taking such drugs on a regular basis. NSAIDs are one of the most commonly prescribed and purchased drugs today, primarily for purposes of reducing inflammation and pain management. We have all resorted to taking drugs like Ibuprofen when experiencing aches and pains, whether it's from an acute injury, chronic pain, or a simple headache; but do we actually know how these drugs are affecting our body?

| 10 Feb 2020 | Are Your "Healthy" Snacks Actually Healthy? | 01:17:42 | |
Over the past several years there has been a shift from blatantly unhealthy snacks to seemingly healthy snacks. But even the "healthy" snacks may not be as healthy as they appear. Marketing for food companies has become increasingly clever in recent years; even the worst foods are marketed to contain some type of nutritional benefit. Between the deceptive marketing and overwhelming ingredient lists, it has become challenging to distinguish between what is truly healthy and what is not. In this episode, Andy and Aaron take a deep dive into the ingredients of these seemingly "healthy" foods and the impact they have on our bodies.

| 24 Feb 2020 | Blue Light is Killing Your Sleep | 00:45:51 | |
Before the invention of light bulbs, humans received most light exposure from the Sun, getting the full spectrum of visible light during the day, with more mild light exposure during the evening. With the rapid expansion of technology, humans now experience substantially more light exposure at all times of the day and well into the evening, primarily through the increased use of smartphones, tablets, computers, and TVs, which emit a large amount of blue light. In recent years, blue light exposure has supposedly been associated with poor sleep, eye strain, and macular degeneration. Andy and Aaron take a look at the evidence behind these claims and perform their own experiment with blue light.

With the advancement of technology has come the increased demand for sitting at a desk, the reduced need for physical activity, and the rise of a sedentary lifestyle. Today, most humans spend the majority of their day sitting, or behaviors that expend very little energy. Andy and Aaron look at the health impact of a sedentary lifestyle, but more importantly, offer some practical solutions you can incorporate into your daily routine to reduce sedentary behavior and improve your overall health.

| 06 Jul 2020 | The Power of Routines | 00:38:54 | |
Nearly 80% of Americans report experiencing stress every single day. Between working a job, maintaining our health, managing finances, building relationships, raising kids, or even just managing our time, the outlets for things that can induce stress seem endless. We do the best we can to manage these pressures, but are often burdened by the responsibilities of daily life. Chronic stress may lead to not only a mental strain, but a physical strain as well.

| 27 Apr 2020 | Should Everyone Avoid Gluten? | 00:35:24 | |
The "Gluten-Free" movement for those without Celiac Disease was one of the earliest health trends in recent years and remains a very popular dietary option today. Nearly every grocery store, restaurant, and recipe has gluten-free options. While a medical necessity for those with Celiac Disease, others voluntarily choose to maintain a gluten-free diet. There has been heavy debate on whether or not there is a health benefit to following a gluten-free diet if you don't have Celiac Disease, which has led to the emergence of the term "Non-Celiac Gluten (Wheat) Sensitivity". Since headlines and anecdotes muddy the waters on this issue, Andy and Aaron dive into the research to get some answers, as well as share their experience with gluten.

| 11 May 2020 | Essential Oils: Truth or Trickery? | 00:32:19 | |
Essential Oils have been around for thousands of years and remain a very popular, holistic method for treating a variety of conditions. Chances are, you either know someone or have talked to someone that raves about the powerful benefits of Essential Oils. The claimed benefits include: stress relief, sleep aid, immune strength, mental alertness, antibacterial, inflammation support, cancer healing...the list goes on and on. But is there science behind these claims? With hundreds of different types of oils, various application methods, and varying degrees of quality, sorting through the fact from fiction takes some work. This week, Andy and Aaron review some of the research behind these claims to see if they are as miraculous as they're made out to be.

| 25 May 2020 | To Grow We Must Suffer | 00:44:58 | |
The benefits of a consistent, yet varied exercise routine is well known and accepted in the scientific community, as well as the general population. However, many of us tend to favor light-moderate intensity and avoid the high intensity workouts, thereby missing out on both the physical and mental benefits of pushing ourselves to a point of extreme discomfort. This week, Andy and Aaron discuss what pushing yourself physical limits is, why it’s important for us, and the mindset needed to get there. Note: If you have a medical condition or are of older age, this extreme intensity may not be advisable. Learn more on Instagram Watch us on YouTube Visit our Website Resources:

| 20 Jul 2020 | Using Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to Optimize Health | 00:36:09 | |
Heart Rate Variability, or "HRV" as it's often referred to, is a simple yet powerful biological metric that we can use to determine our ability to perform, physically and psychologically, on a given day. Increasingly becoming a more popular data point in fitness trackers, this biomarker can provide real-time insight into how well we have recovered from previous stressors (whether physical or mental). Although HRV is heavily impacted by our daily activity, it's also dependent on many other factors like: diet, sleep, age, gender, genetics, etc. This is why your HRV is specific to YOU and should be viewed relative to your historic HRV. When you understand your personal HRV, it serves as a very useful indicator of your overall health, fitness, and recovery ability. This week, Andy and Aaron walk through the concept of Heart Rate Variability ("HRV"), why it's important, how we can use it, and what we can do to improve it. Some fitness trackers that measure HRV (along with many others): Learn more on Instagram Watch us on YouTube Visit LabRatsPodcast.com Resources:

| 10 Aug 2020 | Health Care is Broken | 00:39:00 | |
Diet-related illnesses are the leading source of poor health in the United States. Nearly 3 in 4 American adults are overweight or obese, and 1 in 2 have diabetes or pre-diabetes. Trillions of dollars have been invested in the fight against chronic illnesses, yet the number of people impacted by heart disease, cancer, autoimmune conditions, and so much more, continues to rise. This week, Andy and Aaron take a look at a paper from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition on strengthening national nutrition research in a time where preventive care is not a priority.

| 24 Aug 2020 | Alternative Treatment for Anxiety | 00:24:07 | |
Most people experience some form of occasional anxiety in daily life, whether it be due to an issue at work, relationship tension, or an upcoming exam. However, a percentage of the population experience much more frequent, intense moments of fear and panic that fall under the category of "anxiety disorder". These feelings of stress, anxiety, panic, and fear exist on a spectrum, with some people experiencing them briefly, while others experience them chronically, and everything in-between. Medical News Bulletin recently published an article titled "Alternative treatment for anxiety", where they examined recent studies on a powerful apoptogenic herb that has shown evidence of reducing the symptoms of anxiety and stress in certain people. Adaptogens have been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years but they've had a resurgence recently. In this episode, we look at one particular adaptogenic herb and how it may impact the body's response to stress and anxiety. Learn more on our website Resources:

Is one really better than the other? We also share some of our favorite alternative to soda, for those who are trying to kick aspartame altogether! Resources:
